Buchanan Record, Thursday, June 12, 1890, page 3
Mr. Hiram Weese, who has been suffering some time with a cancer at the side of
his neck, died about nine o'clock last night at his home on River street, aged
83 year.  Mr. Weese was a native of Ohio.  Moved from there to Indiana, and in
1834 settled in Niles township just opposite this village.  In 1840 he bought
the two acres of land which has been his home ever since of Jacob Dutton.  He
was a blacksmith by trade and operated the first shop of the kind in this
section.  He held the office of Justice of the Peace in 1842, again in 1846 and
1850 and 1855.  He also held the office of postmaster.  The funeral services
will be held at this late home, to-morrow at 9 a.m. and the remains taken to
Long Lake cemetery for interment."
